Is there any real difference between a 1461 Jours and the current Olympus? Both seem to use the same movement and generally tell the same information, no? |

Visual differences, but you are correct, both use the same semi-perpetual moonphase movement. |

Any idea what a normal service at BUSA or equivalent might run for this type of B-ling |

Beautiful watch and one of the objects of desire in my book; why (besides the fact that you have the pleasure of owning this model) do you think this is the best of its kind? |

I just think that the size and the dial design/colour is the most elegant of them all. The latest Olympus design makes the watch look very small indeed even though it's the same 42.1mm as mine. Stef |

I think that the general consensus is that the Montbrillant Olympus is a bit of a downgrade from the previous Navitimer Olympus - that's a gorgeous watch, and I think the white dial works very well. |

I agree, I think the Navitimer Olympus is a beautiful watch. Why the change from Navitimer to Montbrillant? As discussed previously there really is very little difference between them. |

I don't know why they decided to make the change, just part of the updating of the range I guess. |

And they got rid of the Wings. The script is nice, but the wings are absolutely mandatory. |
